posting image

Hi folks

I can't seem to insert an image in my post. I browse to it alright, but if my image is on my desktop, name "ipaddress.gif" after I browse to it, what should I put in the drop down IMG box as the "complete URL for image."

TIA

you cant display a picture from you desktop online unless you have stored it on a webserver. the webserver will provide you a url, this url can be used between the img tags

/http://www.imagehosting.us/ is a good site to upload your pictures for free

good luck

You NEED to have a WEBSERVER setup, such as Apache or IIS in order for this to work properly... Then you will need a domain name instead of using your IP address... Free ones are available from http://www.dyndns.org and http://www.no-ip.com .

Thanks Gamehead, I thought it was a bit simpler. This gives me something new to persue.

You can also do what Martin L suggested or use my image hosting:
